\"maincover8\"I will be totally honest when I say I had no idea who Peter Furler was, never heard or checked out his former band the Newsboys, never wanted to, just didn’t seem like my thing, same with DC Talk and Audio A, I’ve always, for the most part, been and stayed underground. I wanted to check this out because of Furler’s association with Steve Taylor’s new project and the songs I’ve heard from that are amazing! This album, start to finish it rocks! The first half of the album is filled with high energy Alt\/Pop Rock hooks, sing along choruses, thoughtful spiritual lyrics, I really like the production, it’s not over produced by any means and that’s a good thing. Really like the structure of “So High”, “the tune “Shame” might be my favorite on the album. “Yeshua” brings down the lights a little in the middle of this 10 song 34 minute set, a well done praise and worship song and continues a reflective mood throughout the rest of the second half of the LP closing out with another hymn called “We Won’t Forget”. Still not sure if his other releases are my thing, but the guy can write a good song and that’s what it’s all about, why give the Creator anything less than your best! I highly recommend Sun and Shield<\/em>! And I can’t wait for that Perfect Foil album!<\/p>\n[2014 Platinum Pop | Purchase: peterfurler.com\/sun-and-shield<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
